St. Anthony's Cemetery

726 McEvoy Street, Devon, NB

 

Established in 1890, St. Anthony’s Cemetery serves the parishes of Our Lady of Peace and Our Lady of Fatima. Situated between McEvoy Street and MacLaren Avenue, the cemetery has provided a sacred resting place for generations of families.

 

The cemetery is overseen by a volunteer committee reporting to the Our Lady of Peace Pastoral Council.

Digitization Project

St. Anthony’s Cemetery is undertaking a comprehensive digitization initiative to modernize and preserve all burial records. Historical registers and plot maps are being securely scanned, verified, and organized into a searchable digital system to ensure long‑term preservation, improved accuracy, and easier access for families.

Cemetery Management System

As part of this initiative, a modern Cemetery Management System is being implemented to support:

  • Digital plot mapping and burial rights tracking

  • Family and memorial record management

  • Financial and regulatory reporting

  • Secure data backup and role‑based access controls

  • Mobile access for field staff

 

This system will strengthen governance, improve efficiency, and ensure secure, sustainable record management for future generations.

Burial Options

Traditional Casket Burials

Designated burial lots for full casket interments within the cemetery grounds.

Cremation Interments

Cremated remains may be interred in designated plots or family lots in accordance with cemetery regulations.

Columbarium Niches

Niches are available for the respectful placement of cremated remains, subject to availability.

On‑Site Winter Vault Capacity

A secure winter vault is available when seasonal ground conditions prevent immediate burial.

The Garden of Angels for Infants

A dedicated and peaceful section of the cemetery reserved for infants and young children. The Garden of Angels offers families a sacred and gentle space of remembrance, reflection, and hope. This area is maintained with special care and reverence.

(New) Butterfly Garden

The Butterfly Garden is a newly established memorial space symbolizing transformation, renewal, and eternal life. Designed as a tranquil area for reflection and prayer, it includes a compassionate (no‑charge) grave and burial for families of a miscarried or stillborn child in a common grave, offered with dignity and pastoral care.

A Perpetual Care Fund ensures ongoing maintenance of the grounds.

Open daily from dawn to dusk.
